The Campaign

From the perspective of a driver, the films start on an empty road as the vehicle is continuously moving forward. After a few seconds, we listen to the characteristic sound of a smartphone receiving a message. The vehicle keeps moving and, as we listen to typing sounds, we see letters appearing on the road. In the end, the combination of the typed letters forms the shape of things that can cause serious accidents.
